Workers will have to take six unpaid furlough days---or one a month---during the rest of the year. They also will lose pay for six remaining holidays. Non-union workers also will have to take off without pay three "reduced-service" days: the days after Thanksgiving and Christmas, and New Year's Eve.

Employees who earn $35,000 or less will not have to take the six furlough days. Altogether, the city expects to save $14 million by forcing the 15 unpaid days.
